Carcinoma of the stomach following the Chernobyl nuclear accident

European Journal of Cancer, 1997
Medical consequences of many nuclear accidents on humans are well studied, but the results pertaining to gastric cancer patients who were exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear accident have not been analysed. In this study, the outcome of the surgical treatment of 68 gastric cancer patients who were exposed to radiation as a result ...

DNA Extracted From Aged Formalin‐Fixed Paraffin‐Embedded Specimens of Patients With Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas Can Be Used for Whole Exome Sequencing

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We aimed to assess the quality of DNA extracted from long‐term stored FFPE specimens of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma from three hospitals in Hiroshima and their applicability to whole exome sequencing. FFPE samples preserved for up to 55 years may be amenable to sequencing with increased read depth.

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...

Responsible Innovation: The Impact of Major Industrial Disasters and Gender in a Global South Context

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Responsible innovation (RI) dynamics remain underexplored in Global South contexts, which have a high prevalence of micro‐ and small enterprises and are vulnerable to the devastating effects of industrial disasters. Only a few studies examine RI within such settings, where it is arguably needed most.
